Some opine that 9/11 sent a large segment of the American public into a mass psychosis from which they have never emerged. These people live in an alternate reality, an artificial state that mirrors their artificial economy. We've seen this sort of thing before. Think Europe, think 1930's.

Interesting, the average of the last four numbers is just under 28%, roughly the number that stuck with Dubya to the bitter end.

Sightly OT but also amusing, the author of the Daily beast/Yahoo piece is (drumroll please):

John Avlon's new book Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America is available now by Beast Books both on the Web and in paperback. He is also the author of Independent Nation: How Centrists Can Change American Politics. Previously, he served as chief speechwriter for New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and was a columnist and associate editor for The New York Sun.
